Poland to train Ukrainian soldiers thanks to EU money
17:09
EU training bases for Ukrainians are to be established in Poland and Germany. The European Union wants to train as many as 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers in the use of weapons supplied by the West.
This is the first such project in the history of the European Union. While the Community has previously spent money on equipment and aid for the Ukrainian army, now the plan is more ambitious - to train Ukrainians on EU soil, preparing them to use Western weapons on the front lines and deepening cooperation with Kyiv.
The cost of the mission over the next two years is expected to be €106 million. Forty countries are to participate.
